This year’s New Year celebrations have been quite subdued for the TRS leaders. Many MLAs and even some ministers have not gone over to the Pragathi Bhavan to greet KCR. Not just that, several MLAs and ministers are not even active in their respective constituencies. Want to know why? Then read on.
The GHMC election results have left a bitter taste in the mouth of several TRS biggies. They are so shocked and ashamed that they are afraid of meeting KCR. For instance, Sabitha Indra Reddy’s Maheshwaram witnessed a complete rout of the TRS. There were two divisions and both went to the BJP. In Rajendranagar constituency, where Home Minister Mahmood Ali was the incharge, the TRS lost all the five seats. It was a complete rout again. Minister Talasani could barely retain half of the divisions in his constituency. Similarly, the divisions where ministers Etela Rajender, Gangula Kamalakar, Niranjan Reddy and Jagadeeshwar Reddy had campaigned also saw the rout of the TRS.
Even MLAs like Bethi Subhash Reddy and Sayanna had to eat a humble pie. The only minister who came out unscathed is Harish Rao. He was incharge of three divisions and he had managed to ensure TRS victories in all the three places. All other MLAs and ministers have had egg on their faces. Hence they are afraid of confronting the chief minister.
